Senior Honor's Thesis
One of the most challenging and fulfilling aspects of your college education could be completing an honors thesis. This is an opportunity for students who have at least a 3.3 GPA on 90 graded Ohio State hours. The student must enroll in 8 and 15 hours of independent research and/or course work applicable to the project. Departments in the College of Arts and Sciences offer an H783 course option for this purpose and the College of Education offers H599. The student must complete a research project, submit it in written form and undergo a minimum one-hour oral examination by a three-person faculty committee. Fulfilling these requirements will enable the student to graduate “with Distinction” in their major..
